Professor of Insect Pathology, UC Berkeley
Professor of Pathobiology and Founding Dean of Biological Sciences, UC Irvine

Nobel Laureate
1908-1980
"The central theme dominating Professor Libby's life and career was the application of science to solving problems of profound social
significance."		 Harold C. Urey, University Professor of Chemistry, UC San Diego
Nobel Laureate

1911-1985
"Her success as a teacher of poetry is illustrated by a roll call of some of her most famous students, whose own genius, in the best cases, does not eclipse an affinity to her distinctive economy of style and subject."		 Marvin Mudrick,
Professor of English and Provost of the College of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara
1921-1986
"Like the voices of his favorite authors, the voice in his writing reproduces his own living voice in an almost uncanny way. That voice is cantankerous, loving, aggressive, spiteful, charming; it abounds with energy and fierce humor."
